Ballard's kind of CB's

[akcolt]

If you listened to Ballard he explained what he looks for in a cornerback. He looks for size speed and a history taking the ball away. If you use that criteria here is a list of CB's who are 6 feet tall or taller and run in the 4.4's or faster with 6 or more career INT's.  At the bottom of the list you find guys who were a little shorter or slower than the criteria but did something to be included. 77

 

Tankersly   6'1 199lbs      4.40            9 int's

Conley       6' 0195lbs      4.44           6 int's 

Griffin         6'0. 194lbd    4.38            6 int's 

King           6'3 200lbs     4.43            6 int's

H. Wilson   6'1 185lbs     4.54           9int's 

White         5'11 192        4.47           6int's 3 PR td's 

Tabor.         6'0  192lbs    4.62           8int's 3td's 

Awuzie       5'11 202lbs    4.43           3int's 6 FF

Wilson        6'0.  211lbs.   4.54           6int's 

Jackson.     5'9. 186lbs     4.42           6int's   4PR 4KO td's 

 

These 2 guys were the leaders in INT's for last season. Their season totals were better than everyone but Tankersly and Howard's career output.

Douglas      6'2 209lbs     4.59          8 int's career 9int's

Kazee         5'10 184lbs   4.54          7 int's 17 career int's 6 career FF

This sure makes thing interesting for a guy like Kazee. He lacks ideal size and speed but talk about a nose for the ball.  H Wilson is a guy I really like I mock him to us in the 4th in every mock. He's going to be good. He'd have been a 1st rounder if he went back to school. Tankersly is a guy I like who looks to fit Ballards model. He needs some polish. Douglas and Griffin are late day 2 early day 3 guys. It will be interesting to see how we go  after CB in the draft. It's a spot we need help but also a spot that will still have a lot to offer day 3.

My gut says if we stay at 15 the Colts go LB/Edge.  If they trade back they look at a CB/S (King?).  Just my hunch.

I think we might take Harris if Foster is gone either way.
